BASES IN AFRICA
AS COUNTER TO DAKAR REPORTED FREE FRENCH OFFER TO U.S.A. MR CORDELL HULL WITHOUT INFORMATION. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.45 p.m.) WASHINGTON. August 27. Mr Cordell Hull (Secretary of State) referring to a “New York Post” message from Brassaville, in which General de Gaulle was quoted as having offered the United States naval bases as a counter to Dakar, said he had never heard of such an offer. The “New York Post” message quoted General de Gaulle as saying: ‘I am not keeping the facts secret any longer. I have offered the United States the use of the principal ports of Free French Africa on the basis of a long-term lease, analogous to the plan on which Britain gave Atlantic bases, but I have not asked for destroyers in return.”
